A commentator for CNN, lawyer Holly Hughes, presented her story of improved health through Gastric Bypass. Congratulations on providing an insightful story on how metabolic surgery is an important and effective option for our patients . Another step in overcoming societal ignorance and prejudice towards the treatment of obesity and its related health conditions.
Here are a few excerpts from the CNN article, “Drastically Overweight Lawyer Finds Drastic Solution by Holly Hughes:
“Having gastric bypass was the best decision I ever made. I have lost a total of 160 pounds. I now wear a size 4 instead of a size 24. I am healthier than I have ever been and have prolonged my life by immeasurable years.”
“The biggest change my weight loss has brought about in my life is in my “life list.” As long as you are overweight, the No. 1 thing on your list of things to do is lose weight. When I was finally able to cross that off my list it opened a whole new world of possibilities. I can now add new dreams to the list and go after them with gusto.”
“Losing weight and the method you choose to do it is a personal choice, but for me, surgery was the answer. I have never regretted it. My surgery was seven years ago, and today I can safely say I will never go back.”
